This paper had all of the same specs as the HP plotter paper that I normally purchase but was slightly less expensive and more readily available at the time I was ordering it so I took the chance. The tape is annoying (more so than on the HP paper because the tape does not come off as easily) but the paper has a very noticeable blue tint to it! It looks like the end of a roll of the register receipts when running out of the roll! I definitely will not purchase this again.
This paper holds ink cleanly works in our plotter. It changes my life in the ways that all kinds of everyday items do just by meeting the basic requirements of their function. Ancient technology working in the contemporary era. This paper works as expected I'd recommend it for straightforward plotting tasks. Probably not good for photo prints or anything requiring coated or heavy-duty use. But you are a smarty so you probably already knew that!
For me this is the best way to buy plotter paper boxes of two have always seem like a waste of resources from the consumer side as well as the vendor side.
